Kid Koala
The Shelter, 10pm, 100RMB
The eminently lovable Kid Koala brings his brand of turntable trickery and outright humour to The Shelter for the first time since 2010. As a turntablist Koala sets himself apart by focusing on using turntables as an instrument, rather than just a way to show off how well he can scratch.
Hucci
Arkham, 10pm, 120RMB
Hucci from the south of England has been making trap influenced dance music for the past few years, and has found a lot of fans with his style that tends to sidestep the typical build-up/drop template that many others in the sub genre use.
Yuksek
Bar Rouge, 10pm, 120RMB (presale)
The French nu disco DJ and producer returns to Shanghai for another set, this time at Bar Rouge. He may have made his name years ago with up tempo electro-pop, but these days he's peddling a more laid back nu disco vibe.
Plastician
The Shelter, 10pm, 60RMB
Plastician is a Croydon, South London native, who in the early-mid ’00s he found himself creating music that had one foot in both dubstep and grime. His early tunes and radio shows on Rinse FM (at the time still a pirate station) with MC Skepta became the thing of London folklore. These days he’s spread his wings, with his sets taking in grime, cloud rap and all kinds of 808 influenced beats. Rankadank crew and Swimful support.
My Nu Leng
Arkham, 10pm, 100RMB
Black Butter records has taken the UK charts by storm in recent years, releasing a wide variety of UK music from Rudimental to Gorgon City and headliners for this night, My Nu Leng and Woz. My Nu Leng in particular have captured minds, dancefloors and festivals with their dark, energetic take on house music that is indebted to drum and bass.
